About this map

Ralph and the smaller outpost of Stafford serve as the primary human touchpoints in this heavily wooded landscape within the Copper Country State Forest during the mid-1980s. The region is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Ford River and its West Branch meet, and the East Branch Sturgeon River flows through the southern terrain near Felch Mountain. This area of the Upper Peninsula exhibits a clear pattern of recreational and resource-based land use, indicated by the Campground at Genes Pond, a Boat Ramp on Pickerel Lake, and scattered extractive sites including a Quarry and Gravel Pit. Local life is further marked by a Cem and Po at Ralph, while a remote Landing Strip and a Footbridge over the river emphasize the navigation challenges of this forested wilderness.
